    To get a softer consistency, put the mixture in the freezer for 20 minutes and then whip it. I have been making and using a similar recipe for years and will NOT go back to to store bought antiperspirant! I'm a somewhat new subscriber and am loving your content. I read a mean, snarky comment from one of your subscribers and you handled it with such grace and dignity. It warmed my heart.

    A couple weeks ago a doctor popped up on my feed for keeping the stink away in the heat. She advised showering, then cleaning the pits with rubbing alcohol, then applying deodorant. I'm like Allie, sensitive pits. So I tried using my homemade floral vinegar instead. Works like a dream.

    This may have already been answered, but the yogurt brand is "OUI!" is pronounced "WE". It is French for "YES!". I LOVE this video (okay, not gonna lie, I love all of your videos, lol!). I used to make soap, bath bombs, salves, candles and a lip balm that is out of this world, I stopped a few years ago.

(I think we secretly know y’all act like we do lol) in my deoderant it’s all the same as yours minus the diatomaceous earth (I didn’t think of that addition) and add in magnesium oil (I make my own) helps detox rid stink and we all can use magnesium and also betonite clay (detox properties) hope that helps someone much love and blessings.

    Yay! Im so excited to try this. I never thought of using diatomaceous earth. I've been looking for a new recipe. I used to make my own body products and have stopped. Thanks for sharing and renewing my interest in homemade body products. A couple notes for other viewers that might be helpful, essential oils should be used with caution around pets and kids and candellila wax is an excellent alternative for beeswax, you just need to use about half the amount of beeswax as its a denser wax. Thanks again, can't wait to try this.

    Colloidal silver works great for deodorant. Ingredients are distilled water and silver.

    • @LittleHillHomesteadGa
      @LittleHillHomesteadGa  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      We have used this before as well instead of the DE. I actually did a full water filtration project in college using colloidal silver brush on pottery and it would filter the water as it ran through the clay and silver. It was amazing and we ended up sending them to another country who didn’t have clean water.

    • @user-BeckyR

    This looks pretty interesting, and I'll definitely try it when my current supply runs out. Careful with peppermint, though, if you use this product in your "nether regions". Tissue there is very sensitive, and peppermint stings. I love citrus, too, but will probably try Chanel No. 5 in my next batch of deodorant and bath powder.

    I'm so glad that you don't use baking soda in your formula...it literally burns red patches on my skin! Does the tea tree scent come through very strong, or do the other EO's help to mask it? Also, if the budget allows, Amazon sells empty twist up deodorant containers that you just fill...might be more convenient than a jar? And one more question...do the oils in your deo leave stains on your clothing? P.S. LOVED the Mutant Ninja Turtle mask at the end! It took me by surprise and made me laugh! Another great video!

    • @LittleHillHomesteadGa
      @LittleHillHomesteadGa  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Baking soda does the exact same thing to me, it’s awful! You cannot smell the tea tree really once you add other EO. I promise. I did try pouring it into an old deodorant tube and it’s a little too soft. If I added more beeswax I bet it would do great! It hasn’t left anything on my clothes but I put it on, run around my room getting ready and let it absorb before I put my clothes on. You can feel it change once it is absorbed.

I'm wondering if I would be able to pour this "pits and bits" into those containers, to be able to use them and not have to use my fingers to apply? Might have to try it and see.

Now I have this bag of stuff I really don't know what it is or what to do with it, now I do!!! One less thing to buy. What else can I do with this stuff?

      If you ever go camping out it around your tent or table and ants won’t cross it. You can use it in food buckets to keep pests away like I use bay leaves. It absorbs smell so you can throw a little in trash cans. Hmm, I wonder if you added essential oil to it if you could use it as a room deodorizer? I’ll have to try that.

    I have watched lots of your videos and enjoy the make your own idea. On one video (or maybe on many) you said if we have a question, to ask...I am making apple sauce and to keep it a bit thicker without adding anything. I drain the cooked apples a bit before smushing them. I now have a couple of quarts of the "juice" and am wondering what to do with it. It is sort of thick so not suitable as ordinary juice as is...any ideas?

    For Lady's only, enter at your own risk! Rof 🤣🤣 You crack me up, I was laughing my butt off! I do believe you blushed a little bit!! Let's be real winter gets here I almost stop shaving, I do always make sure I shave my pits though. I think you are a little bit (maybe more) younger then me. I am 55 yrs, here is one thing you get to look forward to when you hit menopause and or get around my age. The hair you have to shave slows down growing till it pretty much stops growing. But there is 1 kicker , the hair on the back of my legs don't really grow anymore, but it does on the front of my legs. A friend of ours asked my Granny years ago, before she passed if at her age you still had hair everywhere , lol My Granny was very well mannered and always watched her p's and q's so she replied , " Well Lady's when you was born you came into this world bald and when you leave this world , you will leave bald!" I know this is was a TMI comment, but it's still a cute story. I am much like my Granny in some ways, but I did not get her sweet mouth lol. I am as blunt and honest as they come and they stuff that can roll out of my mouth as often shocked myself. lol It is just out there before I can stop it and by the time I realize what I have said, I need a crowbar to get my foot out of my mouth. lol My friends and family know if they don't really want to hear a truthful answer about question , they don't ask me!! lol I have learned to tame my tongue some what, since I had a Barber Shop for 20 years. Yes ma'am my mouth gets me in more trouble, I try to walk away lol ! I'm gonna finish the video now. Thanks for the laugh, I had a rough and stressful day. I don't comment a whole lot because I am usually watching on my tv, I have to get on my desk top. I hate getting on youtube with my phone or tablet , I never get where I want to be. Have a good night! 😀

I am pretty sure you are probably as blunt as I am or close to it. lol I have the same problem, I speak and then try have to cover what I accidently said. lol So yesterday, my sister calls me, my Mother fell again for the 3rd time in the last few weeks. She is an accident waiting to happen, she has always been that way my whole life. But she is 80 now and not as funny, but yesterday it was. There is a place in her floor that a man needs to fix but doesn't have time (he doesn't live there). that is what she keeps tripping on. I found that out when my sister called. Instead of calling 911 , they call me.. SNH I am 20 minutes from her house. She is stubborn is all I can say. So I get over there and my 80 year Mother fell into the cat litter box and she is just sitting there like it's another day... She looked pretty comfy lol .. I asked Angela my sister , you take pictures?? bah bah , she said no, I said well go get your camera lol she's been sitting there 30 minutes in the litter box 3 mores aint going to hurt anything!! lol SO we took pictures!! Before I said that, I made sure she was not hurt in anyway. LOL She would kill me if she knew I was blasting this all over the internet lol. We got her cleaned up and in bed and then I fixed the floor! lol I guess for all the laughing I did when I saw Mother in that litter box, she ran my butt off, fixing stuff and getting stuff. I really need that Pits and bits yesterday! lol I keep telling them I am not a man!! lol Have a great day!!🤣🤣

    When I shower, I wash in those areas with extra-strong antibacterial soap (Hibiclens). It kills all bacteria. I've always used antiperspirant because sweating makes my pits red/raw when the skin rubs together. I use Arrowroot powder under my breasts. I'll have to make a small batch of this deodorant and see how it goes. I think I have most of the ingredients already. I'm concerned about the oiliness of this cream staining my clothes, especially underarm area.

      It’s very hard since you need to figure out what the trigger is. For me it is dish soap, things with sls and if I mix food with salt in it with my hands. Keep the area moist with lotions and shea butter has been a game changer for me. I’m sorry she struggles with it.
